Client/Group progress summary	4/9/24- high energy, high stress, did intakes today 4/16/24-looking for peace, end of class surveys said they found relaxation in the yin poses 4/23/24-very focused group today, used the opportunity to focus more on breathing during class 4/30/24-rushed due to scheduling today (sometimes folks arrive staggered or someone has to leave, etc)
Reflection and self-evaluation	I love this group so much, it’s one of the best combinations we’ve had. I love to have the opportunity when everyone shows up to practice and listens and reflects.
Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session	It always depends on who shows up and how they show up. I plan to do the same things we always do and look for opportunities to talk about pausing to make a choice, and using the breath to still the mind.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
